New production

At the Ghost’s Supper, no one can conceal their ugliness. Inside or outside,
it dwells in us all.

Come into the unsettling world of Strindberg’s Ghost Sonata, where
nothing is as it seems. Bewitched by a woman’s beauty and drawn into a stranger’s
sinister plans, a student enters a handsome house. In that wretched place, food is
poison. The dead are alive. Paradise proves rotten inside.

This staging takes place in the Opera Australia workshop in Surry Hills. Down a
nondescript set of stairs, behind a blank door, the cavernous workshop is filled with
magic: the half-finished props and set-pieces of a hundred stories, a hundred shows.
Director Greg Eldridge creates Strindberg’s Stockholm in the midst of these
other worlds.
